31 weeks

I have to admit I had a bit of a freak out moment this week. I looked at the counter and realized that the weeks are slowly coming to an end and I am NOT ready! everyone keeps saying, "oh you just need diapers and a pack and play"... Ok, the rational side of me agrees, I don't need to go all out and I can slowly start doing the girls room and whatnot.. BUT I am not rational and like things done now. lol Therefore I created a to do list, it's LONG! Hoping to get started on some tonight. One of the big things is my husband is painting a twin bed for my daughter and we keep going back and forth on stain or painting it white. The baby's furniture is cherry, so I'd like the bed to match. Then I need to find an armoire to match. BUT I LOVE white furniture and thought that I could just have cherry and white furniture in the room. That room has always had both color furniture. I wish I could paint the baby furniture white, but alas, I am not that brave. lol

Anyways, I've been experiencing a lot of Braxton Hicks lately, mostly from overdoing it. I usually have to sit down and drink lots of water before they go away. The other day it took forever for them to go away b/c my toddler was asking for this and that and I had to keep getting up to give her lunch and what not..

I've been craving a lot of coke lately. I've given up coffee. It was aggravating my heartburn and making me so sick. I HATE that I can't have coffee every morning. BUT it's only temporary. I still can't have any mexican either. But thankfully I haven't had to give up chocolate :)
I'm still waiting on the results from my 3 hour glucose test. I meant to call my doctor yesterday to ask but forgot. It's been a week, so I'm hoping that since they haven't called me, that it's good news. :) I CANNOT take that test again. With my first pregnancy I passed the 3 hour test the first time.. Then at 34 weeks my doctor found sugar in my urine and I was forced to retake the test. I was diagnosed w/ Gestational diabetes. I am holding my breath and hoping the same thing doesn't happen here. I've taken the 3 hour test twice this pregnancy.

Other than majorly nesting, nothing else has changed. Just getting excited to meet my baby girl.

Wordless Wednesday

Excuse the messy bed, we had just gotten home. But can you find the toddler? lol

30 weeks

Wow, 30 sounds crazy!!! In about 2 months or so I will be holding my baby girl in my arms.
Things are going ok. We're still working on getting the house ready for her arrival. We've had so much other stress and things pop up that having a baby has not been our top priority. I know that sounds awful, but after the day we had yesterday (read 2 posts below) right now we are just trying not to fall apart.
We are very excited for her arrival and can't wait for our girls to meet.

Here I am at 30 weeks. :)


On Wednesday we had our very first 4D ultrasound. It was amazing! Seeing her move around was just so overwhelming and I was just filled w/ so much love. She was so cute and kept putting her hand over her face, so I had to move around to make her move so we could see her face. lol She was asleep and kept moving all over the place. It was neat to see my stomach jump and then see how she was moving to make that happen. lol She is mainly a puncher, her hands are both by her head.

She kept yawning and sticking her tongue out, it was absolutely precious.


This week I had my 3 hour glucose test, I am anxiously awaiting the results. My cravings have changed completely, I can't stand any meat, and mexican food makes me so sick, I can't even think of eating it. I've been craving sandwiches a lot, with lunchmeat. So at least that's something. lol I've had a lot of morning sickness, mainly at night and heartburn. SO thankful for tums!

RIP

Today my husband and I experienced our first loss as a married couple. Our dog's health had been dimishing, it seemed like overnight he grew old and slept all day, hardly ever moved. Hubby took him to the vet today and there was no promise of recovery, so I dropped off our toddler w/ a friend and met hubby at the vet. It was our first time at that office and they were the sweetest group ever! They loved on sweet Riley and held him as we let him go. Hubby and I sat with him and just loved on him as he took his last breath. I didn't think we could ever stop crying. For now we sit at home, missing our protector. He used to lay at our feet and followed hubby everywhere. We also had to explain to our 2 1/2 year old that Riley is with Jesus and he went bye bye. She looked perplexed, but took it well. I am concerned about the cat, but we'll just make sure he is getting lots of loving.


Rest In Peace my sweet Riley.
